There were no dose limiting toxicities in Part A (n = 16) and D 10 mg/kg was used in Part B. In Part B (n = 40) all pts had possible Tx related adverse events (TRAEs; Table): diarrhoea (68%) and elevated alanine aminotransferase (ALT; 58%) were the most common TRAEs; elevated ALT (20%) and aspartate aminotransferase (15%) were the most common TRAEs leading to discontinuation. PK were as expected, inhibition of soluble PD-L1 was observed in all pts and no Tx emergent ADAs were observed. In Arms 1 + 1a, most patients achieved objective response (63.3%; 95% confidence intervals [CI]: 43.9, 80.1), median duration of response was 9.2 months (95% CI: 3.7, 14.0) and median progression-free survival (mPFS) was 10.1 months (95% CI: 5.5, 15.2; Table). PD-L1 expression ≥20% was associated with numerical improvements in mPFS (Table).

Conclusions

G + D had a high discontinuation rate due to liver related TRAEs and there was no additional benefit vs historical data for G alone. However, tumours expressing PD-L1 had favourable PFS and could be investigated further.
